All our coffee is served with two shots by default. We’re not some fancy coffee shop, just a motorway service station that makes coffee to go. We have some regulars who order a decaff with an extra shot. I explain thats going to have three shots total, and they’re happy with it.

But I keep thinking, if you have three shots of decaff, isn’t that going to be as strong as a normal coffee? Whats the point?

Please forgive my ignorance

    I try to explain.

    So for me, my assumption was that “coffee” is straight black drip coffee or espresso alone, but it really meant that part mixed in with something else and meant the whole drink. So when OP talked about adding shots (which I didn’t know what it meant) to coffee (which I assumed was either straight black drip coffee or espresso) I was confused. What would you be adding to coffee, more coffee?? Like adding espresso to drip coffee??? Took me a moment to get that shots basically mean what I’d call the coffee and by coffee they meant what I’d think of as specialty coffee (some sort of mix) or coffee drink.

    It was confusing because the same words are used to mean different things for me and OP and because I wasn’t used to the shot terminology when it comes to coffee.

    Man I hope I cleared it up, it’s hard to explain.
